18 inch rims!!! will they fit!!! Please help me before i buy!!!

Hey,
Im just about to buy my new konig rims! and i want 18's but i don't know it they will fit, i haven't done anything to the suspension yet! but i just need to know if they will fit, because i don't want to spend the cash and then put ruber on them and then have to do modifications!
If you have any idea that would be sooo good! because i really don't want to waste my money!!!
Thanks a ton!!!!
JONNY

They'll fit but depending on how much you drop it, you might have to shave the inner-lip of the fender...

As long as they're 18x7.5", they'll fit fine. I don't think any wider will fit. Also, I wouldn't recommend tires any larger than 215/40/18. In fact, 215/35/18 would be my recommendation.

My 18's fit no prob. I am getting it lowered in a few days though, but shouldn't have any probs cause it is only 1.3"

What Konigs are you getting? I have the verdicts if you want to see pics go to mine.

I LOVE EM!!

ive got 18's and love them i run a 225-40-18 its a less expensive tire then 215-35-18 because its more common ive got mine dropped 1.5 in back and 1 in front its just right i might go to 215-35 because u can go another .5 lower and the smaller tire makes the rim look bigger

I have a set of Montego Racing 18x7's with Pirelli Parada 215\40ZR-18. I bought them about 5-6 months ago and at the time, I could only find about 3-4 ZR rated tires to fit the rim. They fit, and if I read the radar right (one of those speed limit radar trailer thingies by the side of the road) the mph on the spedometer and the sign were dead on. The tires alone make a bit of handling difference as the steering wheel requires a bit more umph to turn and the car doesn't feel as nimble while driving. Don't get me wrong, I can take turns faster, there isn't as much body roll, and in general the car sticks better (in dry conditions).

Check out my ride, I have the verdicts in 18". The pictures are at stock height and now I have H&R sport springs (1.3") and they still fit fine. No rubbing or anything! I was worried to drop it too much thats why I went with the H&R's. It looks tight and i wish it was just a TINY bit lower, but knowing that my tires don't rub is worth it!

P.S. my rims are 18" x 7.5" with a 45mm offset.
